LITTLE MATTERS.

The constant care of little things is
demanded during all this season in the
orchard tt.t
All the worlny fruit should be gath
cred for the hogs, as fast as it falls !;
or, what would be better for both the
orchard and the fruit, turn the hogs
into the orchard and let them devour
the fruit and cultivate the orchard at
the same time.
Continue to prune by rubbing off
the useless sprouts, and use your knife
if any have become too strong for the
thumb and finger. - et -.
From time to time let the ashes be
scattered under the trees not close up
to the trunks, but anywhere beneath
the branches. Nothing is superior to
ashes to improve fruit trees, both as
to growth and fruiting.
The caterpillars are still to be
watched. They have been at work
during all the past month, and promise
now to strip your trees of both leaves
and fruit for no fruit will mature
where the leaves are wanting.
Mark the trees which are worthless,
either as to the quality of their fruit,
or as to bearing, so that you can re-
place them with others.-New Farm.

FLAG ROOT.

In Fayette county there is a
farmer who makes more from a quar-
ter of an acre of swamp than he does
from the remainder of his farm. He
made last year from this quarter of an
acre $5,265. That beats any thing
but rich gold mine. The explana-
ton is given in the words of the ven
erable and well-to-do farmer:
ssI tell you," said he, "when first
moved on this place it was very un-
healthy; my stock died rapidly and
and family had no health. My wife
had been in the habit of keeping cal
anus in the house for her own use,
and she decided to plant out small
patch on the edge of the swamp. It
begun to spread rapidly, and in a
short time the whole quarter OF an
acre of marsh was covered with it.
The cattle drank the water from the
branch on which it grew, and at once
became healthy and ceased to die. It

SQUASH.

Squash requires rich soil with plenty
of well decayed manure The manure
is plowed in six or eight inches deep
and the land is we'll narrowed The
hills are six by seven feet apart and a
shovelful of fine manure and a light
dusting of Peruvian grass should be
given to each hill. Three vines are
left to grow in the hills. The ground
is we'll worked with the plow while the
plants are young, and after that with
the cultivator and the hoe AS the
vines get to be four Or five feet long
the ends are pinched to make the
lateral shoots grow vigorously. AS
these are the bearing shoots this is
very important. By this culture 10000
squashes averaging seven pounds
each have been grown upon one acre.
If larger fruits are desired only three
or four should be left to each hill,
One thousand hills are made to the
acre. Muskmellons are grown in pre-,
cisely the same way, but the hills are
five feet apart only and the pinching
is done closely to make a compact
growth, which covers the ground

HEALTHY HOGS.

1t has been pretty definitely proved
that filth, impure water, and general
want of care are, largely conducive to
epidemics of so-called hog cholera, a
number of diseases lung, intestinal
and blood diseases es-going under that
name when more than usually fatal
In view of the fact that water-courses
and ponds, are especially low this
season, owing to the drouth, those
who have droves of hogs should be
especially careful that swine do not
get water from these sources Such
water will be more than likely to carry
the germs of malignant disease. The
better plan would be to use only the
water of wells, even al the expense of
considerable extra labor In addition
to this, great care should be used that
all the surroundings be kept perfectly
clean No less important is diver
sity of food. The man who places his
dependence on corn as diet for hogs,
old and young, is generally the first
to suffer when malignant diseases be-
come epidemic. Swine is not only
gregarious in their habits, but they
are dependent upon a variety Of food,
and cannot be kept On one single ar
ticle even as we'll as other farm ami
mails. The sagacious man will easily
understand the necessity of changing
the grain food of swine, as well as
supplyinga a daily quantity of vegetable
food. This may consist of any plants
the hogs will eat, including clover. So
far as roots are concerned artichokes
and potatoes wifl-be indicated, and if
swine can be allowed to gather these
for themselves SO much the better. At
the first symptoms of disease the feeder
should look to the surroundings and
remove all the animals to clean pas
lures, separating the sick from the
well. When we find dropping ears,
low-hanging head, diarrhea, vomiting
rapid breath, and an aversion to light,
the hog is far on the road to DEATH

THE CROPS.

Farmer Norwood, who is working
land just beyond Town creek, says the
prospects for the finest crops of corn
and cotton are of the most encourag-
ing character. Mr.. Norwood has al
ready gathered fine crop of honey.
Mr.. David Blum, who returned to
the city Saturday night from trip by
"pike" to Monroe and vicinity, says
the fields are studded with the beauti-
full bloom of king cotton and corn and
wheat now look we'll, but that farmers
are alarmed about the possibility of
drought destroying all hopes of good
results. - Charlotte Observer.
Thus far the crop prospects from
the section of country tributary to
Wilmington have been, almost with
out an exception of a highly favorable
character. AS usual, the time for a
reaction seems to have arrived, and it
is likely we shall have to take some of
the bad with the good hereafter. Ad-
vices from Columbus county are
rather less encouraging, and SUBJ
scriber to the Star at Maxton writes
as follows:
"You have been, no doubt, receiv-
ing good reports from the crops in
this section, but if the present dry
spell continues for many more days,
the effect will be appalling. Rains
have been very local. Corn is very
small, and the crop will be short. Cot
ton is falling back every day
We regret exceedingly to receive SO
discouraging report from MaAton,
and trust refreshing rains may come
in time to revive the suffering crops.
It has been some time since the farm
ers along the line of the Carolina
Central Railroad have had an abund-
ant harvest and they would be serious
ly affected by even partial failure of
the corn and cotton crops this season.
We may add that the report from
Maxton is the first we have received

TOBACCO.

There has been great improvement
in the tobacco trade during the last
month or six weeks, in all the markets
of this country, and prices have ad-
vanced in many gra les from one hun
dred to two hundred per cent. All
reports concur in the opinion that the
present crop will be short one, and
this fact has helped to stiffen prices.
It is unfortunate that so many farmers
had disposed of their crops before the
advance took place, but if they had
all gotten good prices, they would
probably have planted full crops again,
and thus the over production would
have continued AS it is, the market
will be relieved, and all who make fair
grades of tobacco can safely calculate
upon remunerative price for the grow
ing crop.-Durham Recorder.

FARMERS DUTY TO THEM
..... r. SELVES. - -

Farming never will be as profitable
as it is made out to be until farmers
begin to realize their Importance as
citizens and begin to use the power
they really have, not only in the mar
kets of the world, but in halls of legis-
lation. "Trust to luck" policy has
kept them down these ages, and will
continue to do it until they begin to
show themselves men in the land
men worthy of their high calling.
They work harder than any other class
and produce wonderfully, but when
their produce goes to market, they are
at the mercy of whom it may please
to rob them. Where is the farmer
who was ever known to have voice
in the price of their produce? The
manufacturer puts his price on his
products, the merchant puts his price
on his goods, and both put their price
on transportation, or, what is the
same, they dictate to public carriers
what they will pay for freight, and
their voice is heard, but the farmer
has no voice in anything that interests
him. Other classes of men can have
almost any law passed they want, but
the farmer must worry for years to
get through the simplest for their pro-
lection. Why is this? think it is
because they are not united. With
neighborhood clubs, county and State
societies. and some newspaper through
which they could communicate, this
would soon be changed and then
and not until then can farmers hope
for anything like fair treatment in
this age of sharps and sharpers. North
Carolina farmers particularly need a
a central organ in reach of their homes
through which they can talk in plain
words to each other. They need So
cieties and clubs in which to meet and
discuss, not only how to farm, but
questions of markets, transportation,
and laws, and they need never hope
for much change in their condition
until they have these.-Honae and
Farm.

AUBURN, N. c., July Is, 1887 \
The farmers alliance met here Sat
urday, July 18th, for the first time
since the organization. 1t was to meet
July Sth, but on account of an address
delivered by COL L. L. Polk, Editor
of THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER, it was
postponed until the above named time
The farmers in the section of St.
Mary's township, or at least the ma
jority of them, think that the alliance
is the very organization that they need.
1t was organized by J. B. Barry, of
Texas, on the 29th of June, if [ make
no mistake The following were
elected as officers a Ee.--a-r
Jno. S. Johns, President VIM.
Watts, Vice-President Sellie NJ.
Smith, Secretary; A. G. Powell,
Treasurer Jeff Smith, Chaplain !;
Reuben Kelly, Lecturer D. D. Beas
ley, Assistant Lecturer S. @. Smith,
Door-keeper H. G. Massey, Assistant
Door-keeper. y
The organization was composed of
l6 members. On the Sth inst, after
Col. Polk finished his address, l3 gave
their names. AT this meeting (July
l6th) they were accepted. At our
next meeting Aug. 4th) these will be
initiated, provided our supplies arrive
by that time.
The alliance at this place is in it's
infancy, and of course will make very
slow progress.
Hoping that the secretary of every
alliance, club or grange in the good
Old North State will publish the pro-
ceedings of their meetings, [ am,

~ "The Improvement in Southern ag,
riculture has been remarked by every
experienced farmer who has passed
through the States South of the old

extensively and frequently through
the Southern States for five or six
years past, and has taken pains to note
down in minute record the changes
which have occurred in several local.
ties. Six years ago, from Alexandria
to Atlanta, there were scores Of chin
neys standing where houses had been;
few fences were visible; few or no cat
tie or horses in the fields; no appear
ance of comfort and thrift, and very
little work going ON. In the fall the
cotton crop was almost the only one
gathering the corn was scarce and
poor, and a few stacks Of small grain
could be seen here and there. The
change during these past six years has
been remarkable New houses and
barns on the farms clover fields !;
cattle, sheep and horses; large fields
of wheat and oats much better corn !;
new clearings, drains cut through the
wet bottoms and swamps numerous
wagons delivering cotton at the village
stores many large, new storehouses !;
good houses in the villages piles of
merchandise at the depots, and stocks
of the best farm implements-mowers,
reapers, grain drills, steam engines,
sawmills, thrashing machines-and
other evidences of agricultural pros
perity are to be seen on every hand.
And there has been large influx Of
Northern farmers who have helped
greatly to make the change noticed. .;
